Dr Neubauer Matador Texa Carbon review:

I will start with the FH side with an extra layer of Carbon on the FH.
Donic Bluestorm Z1 Turbo 2.1 Red.

I found the FH side very good, perfect for my style: heavy looping, putting pressure on the opponent right away. The speed was Off- not the fastest blade but definitly fast enough mixed with very good control. Not overcontrolled but I found that it had a very good feel and it gave me a lot of confidence and spin (Lots of spin and fast topspinshots) in the rally.


Then I’m going to describe the BH Side:
2 tests:
Aggressor 1.5 Black
ABS2 EVO 2.1 Black

Aggressor 1.5:
What I noticed immediately on the BH side was the hard ballcontact feeling with the 1.5 Aggressor.
I think it is a good match for pimple rubber for somebody who want the direct / hard feeling on the BH side. The low throw stayed + deception / wobbling increases but the control went a little bit down. For me personnally I did not really liked the harder feeling / little bit less control with my pips.
Or maybe it is just something I need to get normal.

ABS2 EVO 2.1:
The harder ballcontact on the BH side was still noticeable but a little bit less than with the pips.
Also makes sense because the sponge of the ABS is thicker than the Aggressor. It matches really good and it gave me a lot of confidence on the BH side. Also the ABS2 EVO is very variable use:
Passive block, chop block, defense, active punch block, opening up with stiff wrist / fast pushing, good attacking capabilities,…
A very good match.


For me personnaly The Matador Texa Carbon blade with the FH Carbon side is just perfect.
But maybe with a little bit more control on the BH side for playing with pips out: Less harder, little bit more control
The BH side for Anti / Glanti is perfect.

Maybe an idea to make another Matador Texa Carbon blade with the same FH Carbon side.
And an other little bit more controlled / less harder (and definitly not too soft, more in the spirit of hard/medium and medium) side on BH for pips.
But still able to attack with that extra ‘kick’.
For me personnally it will be the best blade combination

I've played also Dr Neubauer Firewall Plus.

Maybe a new Matador Blade with carbon forehand like with Dr Neubauer Matador Texa Carbon.
And a backhand + feeling and acceleration like the Firewall Plus blade could be a very good blade.

A tip for the company of Dr Neubauer
I think it could be a very popular blade
I think they should definitely check it out

I stumbled upon a Brazilian player Leo Arata who uses this blade with Fastarc G1 2.0 & ABS2 EVO 2.5.

From his previous YouTube channel videos he has made this change coming from OFF or OFF- blades (Matador/Michael Maze/Kenta Matsudaira ALC with Troublemaker OX or DTecS OX)

Maybe someone will find this helpful to see this blade being used in actual competition. Leo commented he is around ~2400 USATT.

Around 6 mins mark he shows his setup. The other person in the video (Mika) uses Matador, Moristo SP 2.0, Troublemaker OX.

Can someone compare the carbon side with a carbonado 190 or boll alc or similar?

I think for the anti this blade can be very dangerous but if you prefer for example long pimps on ox I think will be to heavy to control the ball in the right way. I played Matador Texa some time ago on Hellfire X and I had problems with the control of this pips on this blade. Feeling was to difficult for me, I can not feel in right way punch of the ball on the blade. When I use anti on the same blade effect was quite much better than on the long pips.
